1 Answer
When was Berkey 
Gay furniture made?
Berkey Gay furniture was made from the mid-19th century through the mid-20th century. In 1855, William Berkey arrived in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and founded a mill to manufacture window sashes and other wood-building products. His brother, Julius, joined him, and he later began manufacturing what became known as the Berkey table. This was highly successful, and the Berkey brothers soon concentrated on making furniture. The company took on various partners over time, including George W. Gay, who bought an interest in the company in 1866 to form Berkey Brothers Gay. It continued to operate until the 1940s.
